Statement by Group CEO Morten Hübbe:
In Q1, we delivered a higher technical result and a lower expense ratio thanks
to our efficiency programme. We also experienced a slightly higher underlying
claims level. As mentioned in connection with the reporting for 2015, minor
price adjustments and claims-related initiatives will be introduced in 2016 to
improve profitability and counteract the rising claims inflation.
We have started the large-scale conversion of customers to our new and improved
products, and in Q1 developed many new digital solutions for the benefit of our
customers.
To further strengthen our customer focus, Q1 also saw the restructuring of the
organisation to ensure faster decision-making by frontline staff in Denmark,
Norway and Sweden.
In Q1, TryghedsGruppen also announced that the member bonus for 2016 will
amount to 8% of the premium paid in 2015, for the benefit of our Danish
customers.
